Mike Wireless 03/24/11 02:38 PM,One of the topics that I’ve seen poorly understood, and even deliberately used to mislead people, is the issue of wireless microphone transmitter power and the effects said power has on system performance. Let’s start with the basics: all things being equal, more transmitter power = more range for the system, but not in a linear way. In broad terms, when discussing analog wireless systems, the receiver wants to see a signal from a transmitter that is at least about… View this story

Mike Wireless 03/23/11 09:20 AM, 2 CommentsThe SpectraPulse wireless microphone system from Audio-Technica is one of the more interesting products to enter the market. It was announced about two years ago and appears aimed mostly at installed sound applications, specifically boardrooms and courtrooms where operating range is not so much the issue, but data security and ease of use are important. The system represents a fresh approach in its form factor, technology and performance, when compared to “traditional” wireless microphone systems. It is my understanding that… View this story

PSW Staff 04/05/10 11:21 AM, 0 CommentsThis year’s NBA All Star Game brought some 108,000 basketball fans to the “Texas-sized” Dallas Cowboys Stadium, a record-breaking number for the sport. Consistent with the high-profile event, which included several days of games and skills contests, the big game’s halftime show rivaled that of the Super Bowl, being broadcast to 215 countries in 44 languages. Columbian pop sensation Shakira and R&B superstar Alicia Keys delivered their stellar performances utilizing over thirty channels of Sennheiser 5000 and 2000 Series wireless… View this story

Mike Wireless 11/03/09 01:01 PM, 1 CommentDuring the recent AES Convention in New York, I attended a panel discussion entitled “Practical Advice for Wireless Microphone Users,” chaired by James Stoffo. The panel included representatives of three top wireless microphone system manufacturers, including Joe Ciaudelli of Sennheiser, Karl Winkler of Lectrosonics, and Douglas Totel of Shure. Stoffo has previously chaired panel discussions at AES that concentrated on large-scale wireless mic installations and applications such as the Super Bowl, but this year the focus was on the “typical”… View this story

PSW Staff 08/27/09 11:16 AM, 0 CommentsWill Allen Airshows present a series of breath-taking loops, hammerheads, spins, stalls, and other aerial maneuvers - all while Allen, known as the “Flying Tenor”, sings the national anthem of the United States and, occasionally, the anthem of Canadian live from the cockpit of his Decathlon (a two-seat fixed conventional gear light airplane). The aerobatic routine has been choreographed to harmonize with the cadence and crescendos of the anthems as Allen performs solo, with keyboard accompaniment emanating from terra firma.… View this story

Mike Wireless 08/26/09 04:38 PM, 1 CommentTwo interesting developments have emerged recently under the heading of “white spaces”. First, if you recall, the FCC authorized the development and eventual marketing of “white space devices” that have now come to be known as TVBDs (TV Band Devices). However, the technical requirements for these devices are quite stringent; specifically, that they must sense other signals and take a lower priority in any given location than existing TV broadcasts and wireless microphones. Microsoft, working with researchers at Harvard University,… View this story

Kevin Young 08/21/09 03:53 PM,After Michael Prowda made the decision to get into live sound he never looked back. “I had no expectations at the time,” he said. “I just wanted to do it. It was like I was driven to be successful.” Based on that comment, it’s no great surprise that the Syracuse, NY-born monitor engineer counts running among his favorite off stage activities. He brings the kind of discipline and perspective to his work that’s essential to anyone who takes pleasure from… View this story9 Comments
